LeBron is simply helping us out before he signs with us.

He has been really involved with this. He was saying stuff like there is no place for Sterling and that he won't play unless he is gone. But when he plays... He will be a Clipper!

CP3

LBJ6

im gonna say this now, the league will not let Lebron sign with us in. you saw when the league stopped CP3 from signing with the Lakers they'd certainly not let Lebron sign with us.

Here is the reason CP3 didn't sign with LAL. This is from Mike Dunleavy Sr who coached both the Lakers and the Clippers. The league owned NOH and MDSr was one of those helping to sell it. NOH had no assets except CP3.

If CP3 went to the Lakers for Pau NOH would get an iffy center/pf with a $14 mill contract with two years left. We traded Eric Gordon who was young an a 20ppg player who I think had an expiring contract. and Chris Kaman who had an expiring contract and once was an all star. Did we throw in a draft pick?

If you were buying a team would you buy a team with Pau? No, nobody would buy it and the league would have it's thumb stuck up its as*. Again from Mike Dunleavy Sr. He has more reason to dislike the LAC than LAL.

It has NOTHING to do with favoritism. Maybe CP was on the plane to LAL when the deal went down and that's why things changed so fast.

Silver would have no say in it because by that time we'll have actual owners instead of being owned by the league like the Hornets were. Stern was the acting owner of the Hornets and like any other owner, he had the right to say no to a roster move. The CP3 veto has been blown way out of proportion - in reality, it's no different from Sterling vetoing the Ariza trade last year.

Bottom line: if the Lakers had put together a competitive offer after the veto, CP3 would still be a Laker. End of story.

It was actually the pick from Minnesota which turned out to be Austin Rivers but the fact remains, Stern was well within his boundaries to veto the trade. The only people who continue to dispute it are butt hurt Laker fans and Daryl Morey. I don't know why Morey continues to whine about it. The best thing that ever happened to the Rockets was nullifying that trade. Kevin Martin wound up fetching James Harden, a superior player to Gasol and Harden's presence is what convinced DH12 to sign with Houston.
